I have a friend who absolutely loves his new tires. I've never heard of them. Mitchalynn.
Seriously, I've yet to hear or read anything good about the stock Dunlop tires. I'll have to look into the Metzeler tires when the time comes. Lots of good reviews on those, everywhere I look.

I have been using the Metzelers ME880s for years on my Indian Scout, great handling but only seem to get 8-9k miles on a back tire. On my Ultra Classic, I was going through them about every 6k miles. Now I am running Dunlop E3s on the Ultra and so far after 7k miles on it, still in great shape and handle well.

I've got the me880 on the front only and it is an improvement over the stock Dunlop. When the rear goes this summer I wont hesitate to put the 880 on the rear. I have used Metzler in the past and they were always a premium tire. Have had good results with pireli,Conti and Dunlop in the past.

I can't help you with what tire to run, cause I'm still running the dunlops, but I can tell you to go to Jakewilson.com for your purchase and you will save a ton of money. shipped to your door for a lot less than anyone I have found.
